Biggest Loser Tracey Is Power Hungry
Hi Everyone!
Biggest Loser looked a bit like Big Brother last night with one contestant taking control of the game to insure her own safety. Tracey, without consulting with Coach Mo, “took the bait” and gave up trainers for the week for a two pound advantage at the weigh-in. As you can imagine, this didn’t sit well with Bob and Jillian. Jillian showed her egotistical side when she stated, “We’re like the best in the world at weight loss. Millions of people around the world want an opportunity to spend a day training with Bob and I.” Oh come on Jillian…millions of people around the world?
The physical stress of working out has taken a toll on Abby. She was told by the doctor that she has a stress fracture in her tibia and will have to have her workouts tailored to allow it to heal. Abby, who has gone through tons with the loss of her family, says she’s not going to let a little break ruin this opportunity.
At the food temptation, Tracey once again proves she’s here to win when she eats 4 cupcakes and wins control at this week’s weigh-in. Only one person from each team will get to weigh-in this week and Tracey gets to decide which one. She may think this is a good thing but all the other contestants are not happy with her, including her own partner Coach Mo. Putting such a large target on her back so early in the game is not smart.
This week’s competition involves moving barrels of weight up a ramp. Each team has a choice between carrying a heavy weight a far distance or carrying lighter weights a short distance. Since they must carry the same amount of weight, picking the lighter weights means many more trips up the ramp and picking the heavier weight means less trips but a farther distance. Tracey and Abby aren’t cleared for the activity so their partner’s, along with Julio must do this challenge alone. They will only have to carry half the weight. The race quickly becomes a competition between the green team and the pink team. Both have chosen carrying the lighter weights. Since Abby is hurt, Allen is competing alone and he takes an early lead. The pink team tries as hard as they can, but they can’t quite catch up to him. The green team wins immunity at the weigh-in. This is a big break for Abby because her injury could affect her weight loss this week.
We go through the usual sweat and tears at the workout. Jillian and Bob are pushing the women because they think that Tracey will most likely target them at the weigh-in. Daniel goes to Tracey and asks her to chose him at the weigh-in so that Shay will have a better chance of remaining on the ranch. She doesn’t say yes or no but she looks like she’s going to honor his wishes. But, of course, at the weigh-in, she doesn’t. The pink team also approaches Tracey and Tracey asks them to insure her safety on the ranch by not voting for her if she ends up below the yellow line. Being the nice honest people they are, the pink team doesn’t agree. If they were playing the way Tracey is playing, they would have agreed to anything she wanted and then stabbed her in the back when the time came.
At the weigh-in, Jillian is still really pissed off. She yells at Coach Mo for saying that he supports his partner. She tells him he shouldn’t support her if she’s making bad decisions. Coach Mo is stuck between a rock and a hard place! First on the scales tonight are the green team. They have immunity so it doesn’t really matter, but Abby loses five pounds and Allen loses 4. Next up is Julio, the only member remaining on the black team. He lost 7 pounds this week. The brown team goes up to the scale and Tracey picks Liz’s weight to count. Tracey is definitely showing her true colors. Danny lost 4 pounds and Liz lost 4 pounds. The blue team is next to weigh-in and Tracey picks Rudy to have his weight counted. Rudy loses 12 pounds and Dina loses 3. At first I thought she had something going on with them, but when they showed Tracey’s face she seemed shocked with Rudy’s loss. Tracey picks the pink team’s Amanda’s weight to be counted. Once again, Tracey shows that she only cares about winning and doesn’t care about any of her fellow contestants. Tracey knows that Amanda hasn’t had good weight loss during the first two weeks. Bob really pushed Amanda this week and she lost 5 pounds and her partner Rebecca lost 7 pounds. This keeps the pink team safe. It’s the red team’s turn. Tracey chooses Sean. Sean lost 6 pounds and Antoine lost 11 pounds. This puts the red team in danger of being below the yellow line. Tracey picks Shay for the yellow team. Shay is devastated as are all the other contestants and Bob and Jillian. Shay lost 6 pounds and Dan lost 6 pounds. This puts them below the yellow line. Rebecca flips out on Tracey and tells her to “take responsibility for her actions”. The purple team is the last to weigh-in. Tracey picks herself for the weigh-in. She only needs to lose more than 2 pounds to keep them safe. Every contestant was hoping she didn’t do it. But I really didn’t think it would happen. Of course it didn’t. Tracey lost 11 pounds and Coach Mo lost only 1. The room falls silent. Tracey is definitely the enemy now. So this leaves the yellow team and the red team below the yellow line.
Sean and Antoine immediately decide to sacrifice themselves to give Shay a chance to remain on the ranch. They think that because they have support at home, they will do okay. I don’t think it really matters. I’m pretty sure everyone is going to vote to keep Shay and Daniel on the ranch. That is exactly what happens. It was sad to see Sean and Antoine have to leave but that’s what this game is all about, isn’t it? The very end of the show has an uplifting surprise. Antoine made a connection on the show with the first contestant to be eliminated, Alexandra. It was so cute to see that they are now a couple. Awwww…..
That’s it for this week. Stay tuned…Bloggergal1

I am quite disappoint with the allowed language and the comments by Jillian. If they were meant to inspire I am afraid it did the opposite with me. Last season was great. Everyone showed respect for the other person on the show. Please don’t allow such mean talk amongst each other to be show on television. I do believe it will be a downward spiral if you don’t keep the standards high and it starts from the top down.
Thank you for listening to my comments
This last episode really got my blood boiling. Talk about selfish, wow. The one thing I don’t like about BTL is the game aspect. These people have made a life choice and are working to make such a drastic change that any “gamesmanship” just doesn’t settle with me. Nonetheless, it is what it is, but Tracy painted a bullseye on her back and how it will be interesting to see what happens when the “game” comes back her way. She may have received Sean’s forgiveness but I don’t think that gals are going to cut her that slack.
Thank you Jillian saying what was on your mind. This season is showing people if you work together. You will be-able to get the weight of and keep it off. But if your are there just for the money, you are going to wast the trainers time and get fat again.
Hi bloggergal, nice to see you again.
And may I add I am so happy to see a blog for tbl
In regard to Tracey what a dumb move. And so early in the game to show her selfish side, she did not even have the decency to confer with her partner, bad move tracey bad move. In closing like my grandmother used to say.
“Be careful of the toes you step on, on your way up they will be attached to the a$$ they you will have to kiss on the way down”.
Hopefully there will be lots of comments for this great show.
ciao

Good to hear from you too! I really do think that Biggest Loser wants Tracy to act the way she does to try to drum up some controversy which may result in bigger viewer numbers. Bloggergal1
What frustrates me is that I feel like the contestants are all hypocrites. They would all have done the same thing that Tracy did. This a weight loss competition and the contestants are mad because she did what they wanted to do. Have seen it in past seasons. It is frustrating to see them complain when they would have done the same. They would have stacked the teams to benefit them. They would have taken the pounds over the trainers (some of them were just waiting for more weight to be offered) and the Antoine ate cupcakes, (that was when Tracy started eating AFTER Antoine did). But nothing was said to Antoine. They all tried but Abby for that Blue Black power. They are just hypocrites.
